Pleasant tour of the North East of Madeira - Respect of the fixed appointment time reminded by a message the day before. Conviviality guaranteed in a minibus of 8 people with a very friendly guide Juan and very competent in his explanations in French. Trust this agency.

A nice day away from Funchal - Our driver was excellent and very knowledgeable. We were here during the sugar cane harvest so the Rum factory was hard at work. The views are amazing, and lunch is excellent (ask if you can share, portions are large). A very nice day indeed.

Great possibility to see the Northern Wonders of Madeira - Our multitalented guide Marco showed us the wonderful nature of the northern parts of Madeira. He guided us in English and French while driving the van through the narrow roads of mountainous island. This trip was really worth taking, great day!

The best day tour so far - I was collected from my accommodation this morning by Nuno. I had been on the West tour in June with him as our driver and he was such a great driver, very informative and funny. I was so pleased to spend the day under his guidance again. The tour itself has some fantastic viewing points to take amazing pictures. The northern cost is so different, but so beautiful. Everyone was nice on the tour and think we all had a very enjoyable day. I will be back next year to do the last one for me, the Southern tour. I love Madeira and always enjoy the tours provided by Lido. Thank you again Nuno and look forward to meeting again next year.

Madeira Nothern Wonders Tour, East Madeira tour and West Madeira tour - All three tours were fantastic! Our guides Gama (North), Marco (West) and Roberto (East) were brilliant, full of knowledge and very carefull drivers, right on the time. Every day we had a lunch in different restaurant and food was very tasty and worth every euro. Every part of Madeira is unique and very beautiful: seaside, cliffs, cave, woods..... Thanks to the agency for three perfect days in Madeira.

Excellent day as always - Always use Lido tours when we are in Funchal and decided to try the Northern tour as we hadn't been on this particular tour for about 5 yrs. Good price , new bus which was very well driven and a great guide who gave us plenty of interesting facts along the way. The caves were well worth a re visit and the scenery along the way is unbelievably stunning. The only down side for us and it is a personal thing was the lunch arrangements; usually with Lido tours you visit a town and are left to find a lunch place of your own choice depending on what you want. This trip took you to a particular restaurant where you had to eat. The restaurant was lovely , staff friendly and not badly priced but a limited menu and far to much for us as we would have been happy with a snack. Happy to support local business but a bigger choice would have been better as we struggled to find anything . A minor point but we enjoy finding our own local places to eat on our trips. Great day out though .
